The Day Young Federer SMASHED 6 Rackets | Tennis Most Bizarre Battle (ft. Marat Safin)

[@joelhoffman7173]

The fact that Federer was capable of honest self-reflection after this kind of behavior lends insight into his ability to also reflect and modify his game. Talent + the ability to reflect = full potential

[@KnowledgeOverflow-px1ny]

Literally any opponent would start smashing their racket if they play against Marat Safin...lol

[@WivoRN]

And Safin would smash even more rackets 😂

[@celinegarcia4158]

I watched this match broadcast live. It's true though Roger was a hothead back then. As a kid he had temper tantrums on court. Throwing & kicking his racquets in disgust because he didn't make the shot often crying in frustration. Even then Roger wanted his shotmaking to be perfect. This battle with his impatience was so frowned upon & disapproved by his parents. We still see this facet of Roger. We still see him cry though for a different outcome. I recall this game with fondness because l'm a big Marat Safin fan & because he is another hothead l was enjoying the racquet antics as much as the tennis. Dear Wivo thank you for this video. I wish you would narrate more. ❤

[@pawshands9706]

Roger was always highly emotional and quick tempered. Only he could do the hard changes before too late. Then he became almost stoic. Incredible presence of mind.

[@aca8638]

Federer was wild back than 😅

[@noahcarvalho2105]

Wow!!! I guess Djokovic fans are very disappointed. Came to see Federer “smashing” rackets and criticize him… “Djoke” is on you. Federer is an amateur next to Nole. And still won the match. So classy.😂😂😂😂

The most bizarre thing about this match was Federer's Nike bowling shirts‼WTF‼🤔

[@mkbaharris]

So this is clickbait!! No smashed rackets from Federer, just throwing them to the ground, nothing broken!! For that reason I can’t invest in your videos, I’m out!!! 🤬🤬🤬

[@streetfightsguild7480]

He didn't smashed 6 racquets. He abused his racquet 6 times...

I am shocked to see this highlight! Today he is inspiration on calmness in this sport!

[@tennnis498]

I suppose after this day is when he began using the Wilson wand? I never wanted to try to play with an RF racket. Hard for me to believe this is really RF. All these years I thought he might be an alien species. Too many of those shots he hit were paranormal. And they said his slice was clocked at 7200 rpm. The heaviest spin ever recorded in the ATP.

[@taopaille-paille4992]

Interesting, I didnt know about this match

[@duasympara7595]

Nether playing wanting to outdo the other in the racket abuse department, each being happy to split the spoils at 6 a piece. Such mutual respect.

[@Анна-к3я]

People like it when anything is smashed to peaces. Racket or bass. 🤘🤪

[@iceman1125]

85 inch frame was hampering him here, wish he had switched sooner also to 97.

[@ryank7465]

Was roger using babolat strings? Hence the stripes on his strings?

[@t1mech1ldtc60]

Wilson’s paint job for the strings in the PS85 had double lines below the “W”. Most guys on Tour would of also used Babolat gut but

[@ryank7465]

So he was in fact using babolat. It’s long been rumored he prefers it to wilson gut

[@t1mech1ldtc60]

@@ryank7465 the gut Roger would of been using would of been Wilson. However the gut on Tour that’s used more today is the Babolat. They are same product essentially but they do offer different gauges sizes between the brands. I remember Agassi having a very rare Natural Gut size which I haven’t ever seen for sale. I might look into it when I setup my Tennis channel lol.

[@ryank7465]

He used babolat gut like his idol sampras, until wilson gave him a big deal

[@tps3622]

What was he saying in german? 2:55

[@asud2571]

''Gott verdamm mi''...(swiss german) god damnit

[@felixy23]

meanwhile in some occasions Djokovic was smashing racquet multiple times, quite remarkable his racquet still fine

[@marillo68]

These days, both of them would be defaulted

[@miroslavjanecek9993]

For what exactly? Nothing much happened. They hardly destroyed a racquet.

you didnt make this video

[@marillo68]

Why Federer was wearing a winter polo? Both look so slow and without any envying of winning comparing to 2024 tennis

[@Edu2503]

Only the bounce is slow since it's very slow clay lol 2024 Tennis looks more formulaic and samey, not as much variety and most just play for the sake of playing

Tu nivel de bobi es increíble. Tenes que odiar a vida para que no te guste Roger

Yeah then nearly 2 decades without a ruined racket, meanwhile Nole is still doing that. Typical childish Djoker fans. One report sent.

[@Thomas-fr1jk]

@chanhhacong1958 at least goatkovic doesn't badmouth others and insult other players family unlike frauderer and dopdal

@chanhhacong1958 who was talking about goatkovic ? This video is about federer still won't change the fact that he isn't humble and polite like the media potrat him as while the media has never wrongly potrat djokovic as humble like they did for federer
